Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1547 True Human Shield

Shao Yu looked at the slowly rotating pupils of that big eye, and couldn't help but feel a tingle in his heart, and reminded:
  "I don't know if it's a monster or not, but I think we'd better stay away from it."

Tian Ming was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly felt a sting on his face and subconsciously reached out to pat:
  "What the hell? Are there any mosquitoes here?"

It was Shi Lan who noticed something was wrong first, and reminded her loudly while retreating:

"No! Let's go!"

"That eye is attacking!" Shao Yu also discovered the problem, grabbed Tian Ming and turned around and ran away.

Behind them, a stream of fine needles like ox hair could be vaguely seen shooting out from the brass eyes, following the steps of Tianming and the other two people and piercing the floor.

The three of them rushed to a corner and were temporarily safe after they were completely out of sight of the brass eyes.

Shao Yu glanced over his head to make sure his eyes weren't chasing after him, and then hurriedly patted Tian Ming on the shoulder:

"Tianming, are you okay?"

When Tian Ming turned his face, he saw that his whole face was distorted. He looked like he was grinning, as if he was in pain, and he seemed to be smiling evilly.

Shao Yu looked confused, "Are you... feeling bitter or smiling?"

Tianming pointed at his face, and then tried hard to make some expressions, but he only pulled the muscles on his face a little, and the whole thing was still so distorted.

"Ah...ah, my eyes are so old (I can't seem to move my face)!"

"Are you talking human language?" Shao Yu was even more confused.

Shi Lan reacted quickly and guessed the reason immediately:
  "The needles in Tianming are poisonous, and my face seems to be frozen!"

With that said, Shi Lan came over, pinched Tianming's face, and observed it carefully.

As mountain people, they generally know a little bit about conditions such as injuries, injuries, and poisoning, and Shi Lan is no exception.

After a brief inspection, she breathed a sigh of relief:

"It seems like it just has a paralyzing effect, so it shouldn't be fatal."

Shaoyu was still a little worried as he patted Tianming and asked, "Boy, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Tianming shook his head and didn't say anything. He just pointed at his face, which meant that he felt uncomfortable here.

Shaoyu was relieved, folded his arms and analyzed:
  "It seems that that eye is not a mechanism for killing people. It is just for capturing us alive."

At this time, Tianming was pointing crazily behind Shaoyu, and Shi Lan also stared and reminded loudly:
  "Shao Yu, be careful!"

Shao Yu turned around and saw that at some point, the eyes had touched behind him.

As soon as he dodged, Tianming pulled him directly behind him, and the next moment he was pricked into a hedgehog by a thin needle made of cow hair.

When Shao Yu saw this, he didn't dare to delay, picked up Tian Ming, turned around and ran away.

The three of them started running wildly again.

However, after running, the three of them discovered that the eye just now was probably not the one they saw first, because now there were such big brass eyes everywhere in the corridor.

The three of them could only find a room to hide first.

Tian Ming feels relieved now. Just now his face was frozen and he couldn't move, but now his whole body is hard.

Twisting the neck and twisting the waist is fine, but any more than that will make it useless.

Shaoyu opened the door a crack, carefully observed it, then immediately closed the door and turned to look at his friend:
  "Now it's troublesome. There are those strange eyes everywhere."

Tianming couldn't express any opinion on this, he could only twist his neck slightly to show that he understood.

Shi Lan said with a solemn face at this moment, "We must find a way to return to the alchemy room."

"why?"

Tianming Shaoyu also cast doubtful eyes on Shi Lan.

"Yun Zhongjun and Yue Shen might still be there. It's too dangerous!"

Shi Lan explained to the two of them, "But the content of the code my brother left there is very important."

"Not only did he point out the location of Yunzhongjun's bedroom, but he also said that there might be a way to leave hidden there."

"But..." Shao Yu understood why Shi Lan wanted to take the risk, but he still showed a look of embarrassment, "This place has been blocked by those eyes, and we can't move at all!"

"How to go back?"

At this time, Tianming twisted his waist and bumped Shaoyu lightly with his arm. After drawing his attention, he looked down crazily and twisted his limbs hard at the same time.

Shaoyu couldn't quite understand what he meant, so he tentatively speculated:
  "You mean... the floor?"

Tianming quickly shook his head, his eyes rolling back and forth.

Shaoyu guessed again, "Then you are referring to... yourself?"

Guessing correctly this time, Tianming nodded crazily, then jumped in front of Shao Yu with difficulty, blocking his figure.

Shaoyu understood, "You want us to use you as a shield!?"

Tianming continued to nod crazily.

Anyway, he was already stabbed to the point of being paralyzed, so he didn't care if he continued to be stabbed. The ox-hair needle itself was not harmful.

"This won't work!" Shao Yu rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.

Shi Lan agreed with Tianming's idea, "This may be the most appropriate way."

"Tianming's non-offensive shield is not big enough to protect the three of us from leaving together. We can only use him as a human shield!"

The design of this place is also wicked. The door panel looks like paper and cannot withstand an attack at first glance. Otherwise, there would be no need for human shields.

Shao Yu, who had never directly refuted Shi Lan, refused with rare persistence:

"No! Absolutely not!"

"This injection seems harmless now, but who knows if there will be any sequelae if it is injected too much."

"Besides, even if it's a fine needle made of cow hair, your body won't be able to bear it if it's pricked too many times!"

Shao Yu's attitude was very clear. The safety of his companions' lives came first and he could not act rashly.

"But being trapped here, we can only sit back and wait for death. If we rush out using this method, we can also think of ways to save Tianming." Shi Lan argued with reason.

In Shi Lan's view, being trapped in one place can only lead to death, and he must fight his way out to have any other hope.

The difference between Shao Yu and Shi Lan can be clearly seen here.

For Shao Yu, protecting the safety of his companions is the top priority, especially the safety of Tian Ming, who he almost regards as a younger brother.

But Shi Lan is different. After encountering the great changes in Shushan, she has a more radical personality and is more purposeful and organized in her work.
  Interestingly, Shao Yu, a man, behaves more emotionally at this time, while Shi Lan, a woman, behaves more rationally.

But it was Tianming's own attitude that finally convinced Shaoyu.

He couldn't speak clearly and could only try his best to persuade:

"Commander, throw the call or pass it (Shaoyu, just do as I say)!"

Seeing Tian Ming, who could hardly stop drooling, trying to speak, Shao Yu was startled, then finally sighed and nodded in agreement with the plan.

"Then... let's do it!"

After a while, Shao Yu kicked open the door, and Shi Lan and he held up Tian Ming and rushed out against the swarms of machine eyes in the corridor. It's obvious that these eyes are intelligent, but not much.

Regarding the strange combination of building blocks in front of him, he didn't try to adjust his height to correct the shooting angle, and just shot out all the paralyzing silver needles.

The overwhelming rain of needles went straight towards Tian Ming, who was facing up. In the blink of an eye, he was tied up into a cow-hair carpet, and everything he saw was covered with tiny pieces of silver light.

The reality was just as Shao Yu expected. Not to mention whether accumulating too much paralyzing toxin would harm the body, just the amount that made Grandma Rong ecstatic was beyond what anyone could bear.

Even though Tianming was already paralyzed and unconscious in large parts of his body, he still endured tremendous pain, and his already distorted face became even more ferocious.

Shao Yu looked at Tian Ming's face in pain, feeling anxious but had no choice but to speed up his steps again and again.

At the same time, in another part of the mirage, Luna was walking quickly through the corridor, heading somewhere.

After she passed by, Yun Zhongjun's figure quietly appeared, and he followed the Moon God in the direction of his retreat.

Clearly, this old man was engaging in a very obscene form of human behavior.

Moon God seemed to know nothing about this, and walked all the way to his destination - Zibei Water Pavilion.

Behind the transparent glazed jade, a huge red koi fish swam freely. The Moon God stopped and looked at the fish swimming in the water quietly.

Behind a pillar in the distance, Yun Zhongjun frowned, suspicious.

Why did the Moon God come to Zibei Water Pavilion?
  Yun Zhongjun was wondering when a wisp of purple clothes appeared in his sight.

Star Soul also appeared here.

At this moment, Moon God seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly turned back to look at the pillar where Yun Zhongjun was hiding.

But she saw nothing, felt nothing.

The next moment, Yun Zhongjun looked out from behind another pillar, but the Moon God who was standing in front of the pool quietly disappeared.

Yun Zhongjun was startled and looked around hurriedly, finally confirming that the Moon God had really disappeared.

He turned back, Xinghun stood in front of him with his hands behind his hands, his eyes just turned away from the side, probably to confirm the whereabouts of the Moon God again.

"Just now, thank you very much, Mr. Xinghun." Yun Zhongjun bowed to Xinghun and thanked him.

Yun Zhongjun's attitude towards Star Soul is obviously much more considerate than towards Moon God.

Xinghun didn't care about the help he just offered, walked out of the pillar, walked towards the position where the Moon God disappeared, and said thoughtfully:

"There is only one corridor here. There is no way that Luna can walk out of the corridor under my eyes without me knowing."

"So...she didn't leave the corridor, but she disappeared from here."

"Oh, it's really interesting!"

Yun Zhongjun paced up to catch up and continued:

"Based on the current situation, the prisoner's detention location should be closely related to Zibei Water Pavilion."

"Hmph, as soon as there was news of the appearance of the three-legged Golden Crow, the Moon God came to the Zibei Water Pavilion. It seems that the missing prisoner is not honest either." Xinghun sneered and murmured.

When Yun Zhongjun heard this, his eyes moved and he also smiled.

The two of them are not afraid of the other party moving too much, but they are afraid that the other party is not moving. The more noise she can make, the better.

"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Xinghun said finally, then turned and left.

Let’s talk about Tianming and the other three.

Relying on the human shield to clear the way, Shaoyu Shilan successfully left the corridor area and returned to the area near the alchemy room.

The place has returned to calm at this time, and the large number of Yin and Yang puppets from before have disappeared, leaving only two guarding the door.

It is very simple to solve the two Yin and Yang puppets, but it is more troublesome to stay hidden throughout the whole process and not alert more guards.

Fortunately, Shaoyu and the others got a new artifact.

The Yin and Yang puppets guarding the door saw a figure suddenly appear at the end of the corridor. Just as they were about to make a move, they noticed a few rays of silver light flashing in front of their eyes, and then... they fell down with a plop because their bodies were stiff and their bodies were unbalanced.

The yin and yang puppets who had rounded up Tianming and the others before had most likely retreated because the brass eyes were about to appear. From this, it could be seen that they would also be affected by the poisonous needles.

Shao Yu and Shi Lan are now reusing the silver needles stuck in Tian Ming's body.

Judging from the speed of the attack of the two Yin and Yang puppets, the second-hand goods did not affect the effect of the poisonous needle, and the Yin and Yang puppets seemed to have no resistance to this paralyzing toxin. The effects were faster than Tianming and the effect was more obvious.

After the Yin Yang Puppet fell down, Shao Yu walked out from the corner of the corridor carrying Tian Ming, who was still paralyzed. He looked at the Yin Yang Puppet throwing himself on the street not far away and joked with a smile:
  "Hey, I didn't expect that the poisonous needles on Tianming's body could be reused!"

Tianming rolled his eyes crazily, as if he wanted to express his opinion on this, but unfortunately he couldn't speak.

Shao Yu didn't bother to care about Tian Ming, and hurriedly ran to move the Yin and Yang puppets that fell to the ground and set up the scene.

Otherwise, they would be discovered prematurely and they were back again. Nothing could happen to the two Yin and Yang puppets guarding the door - this is also the really important use of those poisonous needles.

After lifting up the stiff Yin and Yang puppets, Shao Yu slightly adjusted their postures and found that they could stand upright. He snapped his fingers with joy:
  "Hey, it's no problem now."

Of course, this only solved the posture problem, the facial expressions of the Yin and Yang puppets are still unnatural.

But it doesn't matter. This thing has a paralyzed face and dull eyes.

The biggest flaw is actually their feet - usually they are floating slightly, but now their feet are completely on the ground.

Fortunately, it's covered by clothes, so it shouldn't attract too much attention.

Finally, Shao Yu added dozens of poison needles to each of their backs to extend their recovery time as much as possible, and then he was done.

After Shao Yu finished it, Shi Lan carefully pushed the door open a crack and looked inside through the gap. After confirming that no one was there, he opened the door completely and signaled Shao Yu to take Tian Ming and leave quickly.

The three of them returned to the alchemy room.

………………

In Songhai City, the General's Mansion.

Fusu sat behind the table at the top, holding a scroll document in his hand. Li Si and Zhang Han stood below him.

This document was an action report submitted by Zhang Han, which roughly stated the whole story of the Tooth-gnawing Prison entrapment operation.

The content is quite detailed, but it can be summed up in two words - failure!
  The big fish in the plan was not caught, but the thieves and the cooks who were originally in their hands were lost.

In a word - lost!

Fusu put down the scroll and stood up. His face showed no emotion or anger, and he said calmly:
  "General Zhang, nothing was achieved in this Teeth Prison entrapment operation. As the leader of the plan, you should bear the first responsibility."

"The general will finally realize his crime, please punish him."

Fusu was not in a hurry to punish Zhang Han, and turned his eyes to Li Si:
  "Master Li, Wei Zhuang is the person you personally invited to come out. Now that he has betrayed the empire, what... do you have to say?"

"My lord, I will be punished according to the master's will."

What else can Li Si say other than admitting the penalty?

It's good that Wei Zhuang was the person he invited, but Wei Zhuang is also the founder of your quicksand!
  But there is no other way. The person who plays the football is a person who is quicksand, and the referee is also a person who is quicksand. Li Si has to swallow this loss himself.

Fortunately, it's not a big deal.

Fusu had no intention of taking this matter seriously. After receiving the response, he said lightly:
  "The empire has its own rules for rewards and punishments, and your crimes will naturally be punished by competent officials."
